Hello, I want to start hosting a tor mirror and I was wondering if there are any best practices that the mirror does not get censored.
Is it better to host it with a static IP or with a dynamic IP and dynamic DNS to make it harder to block?
Best regards, Ben ben@open-gaming.net

Hi Ben! You are welcome to set up a tor mirror, but they go mostly unused these days. Many years ago we had plans to spread out the load, point many users to the mirrors, use them for getting censorship of the main website, etc, but those plans never really arrived at a workable conclusion.
So, feel free, but I would recommend putting your energy into something more directly rewarding, like setting up Tor relays or bridges or snowflakes.
